If any one of the following apply to you, you may be eligible for a Short Sale Approval:

1. Are you struggling with your monthly mortgage payments for any reason what-so-ever?

2. Do you need to sell your home, but your mortgage debt is more than your property is worth?

3. Are you facing foreclosure?

A “short sale” is a transaction that allows individuals who can no longer afford their homes to sell their home in a dignified manner and avoid the embarrassment and indignity of foreclosure. Even if the total mortgage debt owed on your home exceeds the current value of your home, the short sale allows you to still sell you home, avoid the devastating impact of foreclosure on your credit history, and in many cases, avoid the remaining debt or deficiency after the sale of your home, and avoid tax consequences from the forgiven debt (up to $500,000 of forgiven debt on your home loan for Illinois taxes and up to $2 million of forgiven debt on your home for federal taxes)*.
